Prevail houses valuable information your organization needs to be able to gather in an organized way to analyze and report on in a meaningful way.

  • The Prevail Reporter function is designed to gather such information from your Prevail database.

  • Numerous standard reports are built into the software. If there is a report that does not exist, you can create a customized report with the Report Designer.

  • If the report cannot be created through the Report Designer, customized reports are also available by contacting Tech Support at reports@prevail.net.
